ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Ludovica Casolo

Available for hire

Hi, I am Ludovica, 26 y/o, with a bachelor's degree in Economics and a Master's degree in Innovation & Technology Management, currently working in the world of Digital Marketing in an Italian fashion company. At 16, I decided to spend my fourth year of high school in the United States of America, to experience that American dream you hear about and see in movies. So, I decided to start a blog and share my experience, ensuring my family could stay updated on my life and future exchange students could find support for their doubts and questions. During my final year of my Master's, I spent a semester in Australia, in Sydney, a city close to my heart. And now, here I am still writing and talking about my travels.
